Session Type: 90-Minute Interactive Workshop

Description:

This interactive workshop explores how formative assessments can significantly boost student engagement and learning outcomes. Participants will examine practical, research-backed strategies for integrating frequent, feedback-rich assessments and activities into their teaching practice. Through real-time engagement with formative assessments, faculty will discuss the potential applications in their content areas and will leave with actionable tools to create inclusive, student-centered learning environments where assessment drives motivation, not anxiety. Together, we’ll examine:

• Evidence-based formative assessment strategies that enhance student engagement and contribute to academic success.
• Practical approaches for integrating formative assessment into course design in a sustainable manner.
• Application opportunities specific to your course through the crowdsourcing of ideas.
